CONSECRATION
The Lord secures my heart through Scriptures’ light
unveiling truths of great virtue and grace
midst consecration showing progress trace
Holy Ghost breathes peaceful worship delight
illumining me of my spirit’s plight
to glow, walking by faith along life race
with Christ’s hand, clasping mine upon hope’s brace
I now ascend toward service-bliss height.
Propelled to obey the Saviour with joy
yielded against selfish vanity pride
as His forgiven child, freed to fulfill
assigned mandate and roles despite sin’s ploy
I trust my God* - the wise, omniscient Guide
Who knows what’s best toward submission hill.
*Psalm 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
